トロスの峡谷・トップ18

Tucked away in the mountains of the Marina Alta, Vall de Gallinera is one of the Costa Blanca’s most scenic and peaceful cycling routes. The name literally means “Valley of the Chickens” — 🐓🐔 — a nod to the valley’s Moorish past, when this fertile land was known for its farms and poultry. These days, the valley is all about cherries. In spring, the hills burst into bloom with white cherry blossoms — an incredible sight on two wheels. By May and June, the trees are full of ripe, sweet cherries, and local farmers sell them fresh from roadside stalls. 🍒 The route winds through eight tiny villages, like Benissili, Alpatró, and Benirrama, connected by quiet mountain roads with gentle gradients, flowing curves, and spectacular views.

The first descent of 300m via a large section of the 6800 steps, brings you to the first barranco, Rio Girona

BEAUTIFUL QUIET AREA WITHOUT LOUD TRAFFIC...QUIET AREA

Beautiful valley with little traffic

Great section of the route, not a MTB trail, but the path is bad enough for a real move. Varied landscape.

Definitely do it. Walking in the riverbed is not boring at all and the cave is the ultimate experience.

It is a beautiful valley formed by eight towns that are aligned on the boulevard. It is a very popular area among hikers, as there is a very extensive network of paths in the area.

One of the 2 crossings of the Ruta del Inferno to the Ebo River, this one in particular downstream. It is easily crossed on foot and in times of flooding the river can be somewhat mighty, so it is recommended to be careful or consult previously in the town about the state of the crossing.
